Pelican 1606 Air Large Air Case with Wheels, Retractable Pull Handle and Pick N Pluck Foam Interior

Pelican Air Protector Case offers maximum protection for your equipment with the world's toughest and lightest case - 40% lighter than other polymer cases. Finding the right protection, with the perfect fit for your gear, is a priority. This case is part of Pelican's new Long / Deep Series. Gone are the days of dangerously forcing your equipment into the wrong size case or leaving it unprotected with no other options.

The hard shell case is made from a super-light proprietary HPX™ Polymer and features quiet rolling stainless-steel bearing wheels and a retractable extension handle for easy transport. Other features include a watertight O-Ring gasket, an automatic purge valve that keeps water and dust out while balancing air pressure, and Press and Pull™ latches, tested for extreme pressure and impact situations. These latches keep the lid shut through rough handling but are easy to open on arrival.

This lightweight case is waterproof, dustproof and crushproof. Users will appreciate the stylish conic curve lid shape and comfortable, rubber overmolded handle. And for easier case ID, there’s an attractive and removable polycarbonate card holder that may be placed on the front or side of the case.

Keep your equipment safe and secure, the Pelican 1606Air case includes stainless steel reinforced hasps that accept user-supplied padlocks. Lifetime Guarantee!

The Pick N Pluck Foam (Also known as cubed or diced foam) is shock-absorbent, pre-scored Foam in tiny cubes. The item is placed on the foam, outlined with chalk, and then the cubes around the item are removed to form a secure, protective cocoon. It is the easiest, fastest method for providing a cut-out for individual items. Best for shipping same items repeatedly.

Pelican Air Case Features


THE SCIENCE BEHIND STRENGTH AND LIGHTNESS
The Pelican™ Air case has been designed to cut weight without compromising durability. Pelican engineers have revolutionized the protector case by reducing structural waste while preserving their legendary standards of strength. In development for years, the design team challenged the status quo to "add lightness" to every detail.

Here are some important reasons why Pelican™ Air cases are both strong and light:

  • Molded from the next generation of Pelican’s lightweight HPX™ resin, a proprietary formula that rebounds without breaking
  • Honeycomb structural elements that are actually stronger than solid polymer material
  • Super-stiff "full box" sections are engineered to create hollow parts

UP TO THE TEST
It wouldn’t be a Pelican™ case if you couldn’t drop it, kick it and run over it – and the Pelican™ Air case is no different.

  • Drop-tested on concrete on all sides and corners with loads from six feet
  • Submerged for 30 minutes at a depth of one meter
  • Wheels are roll tested over 914 meters
  • 28 lb. steel dart dropped on all sides from one meter
